I have fixed the cutting deck lever and it is now straight as it should be, belt has enough tension on it to stay on and can be adjusted ,with engine running (deck dis- engaged it stays on)but once deck is engaged the engine shuts off ,so the only thing I can see that may be causing the problem is the 2 safety switches this machine has on it,this is the only electrical wiring on it.
it could be difficult getting new ones the same as these
.and as these are about the only things not replaced on this machine I'd say this is the cause of the problem.
anyone no the best way to fix this issue?
